Why is it masculine?
Hôtel is masculine because it derives from the Old French "hostel," which came from the Latin "hospitale" (neuter noun meaning "hospice" or "lodging place"), but when adopted into Old French, it took the masculine gender through the influence of the -el suffix, which typically creates masculine nouns. The word's gender became fixed in French tradition despite its neuter Latin origins.
